Academic Leadership

Through the Office of the Provost, vice provosts and senior staff oversee the delivery of the transformative educational experience that makes Carnegie Mellon a world renowned institution. In addition, the university operates one of the nation's Federally Funded Research and Development Centers, the Software Engineering Institute, which activities focus on addressing critical software and cybersecurity needs of the U.S. Department of Defense. All members of the academic leadership team report directly to the provost.
